Chapter 523 Shang Kuman's Court

Unexpectedly, the two Shangshufang families held weddings at the same time. They also discussed it. In order to solve the troubles of the officials in the Beijing, they invited all the guests from both families to sit together, contracted the three major restaurants in the capital and held a banquet of hundreds of tables.

The merchant, because of this incident, once again appeared in the eyes of everyone. Shang Ruonan didn't want to see this situation, but he had to see it.

The second sister of the business that appeared this time stole all the limelight, leaving neither of the brides with such great attention.

Because the second sister of the merchant appeared this time, she came with a pregnant belly. There was a handsome man standing beside her who was not inferior to the handsome men in Beijing.

The look I looked at Miss Shang Er was as soft as water. This made many students of Mingyuan who were jealous but could only retreat.

Mr. Shang. It’s been a long time since I heard someone call him. Shang Xianglan smiled knowingly and visited Mr. Xu’s house. Everyone didn’t know what Shang Xianglan talked to Mr. Xu, but after knowing that Mr. Xu came out, he sighed long. Then he announced that he would close his studies.

What attracts the most attention is the clothes of the brides of the merchants. However, the clothes they saw this time.

Shang Panlan was originally a female soldier, so her bridal outfit was actually a piece of armor, but the fabric lined inside the armor was all red.

The groom's body was also armoured, and the one who carried the gifts to them was also armoured. Anyway, just like a group of soldiers moving forward, there was no way to get married.

But the two newcomers smiled sweeter than any newcomer.

Everyone turned around to look at another newcomer. Shang Silan might be the first one to marry among the merchants.

Yu Xiaohu's excitement is conceivable. Although he has fulfilled the requirement that he cannot have sex for the time being, he has made plans to wait before. His career also wants to follow the rules of the merchant and wait for Silan to get married at the age of 18. Let Silan become the first daughter of the merchant to abide by the merchant's rules.

But my mother told me that I could marry Silan in advance. Even if I couldn't touch her, I could be together every day. This is also very happy. And from then on, this is my own person. This feeling still made Yu Xiaohu excited.

Of course, there are still people paying attention to the dowry given by the merchant, but when they look at it, compared to the high-profile marriage of Miss Shang into the marquis’s family five years ago, the dowry of these two ladies seemed to have shrunk. The sum of the two may be that much dowry for the young lady alone back then.

Everyone was speculating about how Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Lei would treat the merchants, but unexpectedly, when Man Sanchai returned to the door, everyone was blinded. Unexpectedly, the Yu family and the Lei family gave a full gift from the three carriages to go back.

Someone even laughed in the street:

"I'm afraid the Yu family and Lei family have returned all the dowry of the two young grandmothers?"

The insider pulled the corner of his mouth and thought to himself:

"You don't know the dowry of these two young ladies. They sent a few carriages to the two mansions half a month ago. That's the big head."

Of course, Shang Ruonan's actions were beyond my mind and the important officials in the court. The important officials could all give Shang Ruonan's meaning, even if the emperor could guess, they didn't want to admit it.

This day is the last big dynasty of this year. Today, Lord Yu handed over a memorial on behalf of Shang Ruonan. This memorial was presented to the emperor.

The emperor opened the note and looked at it, and said in surprise:

"Mr. Yu, is this true?"

Shangshu Yu shook his head and said:

"When I go back to the emperor, I don't know what is written on it, but Miss Shang Si is outside the hall."

This means, I am just a person who helped to pass a letter. If you ask me if it is true, how can I know? If you want to ask, you will ask the person involved.

However, the women had not been allowed to come in in the court. Even if it was cleaning, the eunuchs were doing it. The emperor thought for a while and said:

"My dear friends, I just received a memorial from Secretary Yu, which was written by Miss Shang Si. Miss Shang Si wants to hand over all the Wuwei Bookstores and the Thirteen Bookstores in the Imperial Palace to the court for management."

When the ministers below heard this, they were a little stunned because everyone's home now had books bought from Wuwei Bookstore, which looked good. I heard that Wuwei Bookstore was opened in large and medium-sized cities throughout the dynasty. Moreover, the printing of Wuwei Bookstore has become a large workshop.

Several gentlemen from Mingyuan went to this workshop to work in their spare time, saying that they were doing some correction work.

Anyway, everyone knows that this Wuwei Bookstore has two major benefits: one is that it can make money. Because the benefits brought by this bookstore are what everyone can see. The other is that it can make people. Since the beginning of this Wuwei Bookstore, those students are proud to be able to recognize the bookstore owner. They all regard themselves as disciples of the bookstore.

Moreover, Wuwei Bookstore takes care of people who are too poor to be able to read books, giving books, money and food, and brings some scholars to the bookstore to work, half reading and study, and gives them wages.

These scholars are most grateful. Maybe one of them will become a high-ranking official in the future and will still take care of this Wuwei Bookstore.

Therefore, if you hold this kind of shop in the world, you will only have benefits and no harm.

But Miss Shang Si decided to hand over all such a good shop to the court. The meaning of this is a bit difficult to understand.

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, it was Lei Shangshu. Lei Shangshu said:

"Congratulations to the emperor. After getting this bookstore, I am afraid that the world will not return. In the future, the emperor can open the bookstore to other countries so that students from other countries will also care about my dynasty. This is my dynasty's grace."

The Prince of Huayang also stood up and said:

"It is best to take this matter under the control of the court. This also requires Miss Shang Si for his efforts."

The emperor was naturally happy that the ownership of the bookstore belonged to him, but he didn't know what Shang Ruonan was planning. The emperor also wanted to hear Shang Ruonan's words. So he asked someone to bring Shang Ruonan back and forth in the palace.

This was the first woman to step into the hall since the commencement of the court. But when Shang Ruonan came, he walked to the middle calmly in front of the ministers, and bowed to the emperor, and then stood aside.

The emperor looked at Shang Ruonan standing there. Even if Shang Ruonan was wearing neutral clothes, he looked very attractive. The emperor was a little nervous. If he had taken this woman into the palace back then, he would have been like a tiger.

Shang Ruonan's current status in Beijing is completely different from Mrs. Su at that time, but has the same high status.
